Looks very similar to the Whirlpool units made here. Probably same design as is made in Italy, but made in a Chinese factory. I know the same is true for some of the Australian Whirlpools at least. Jon | ||

I'm noticing a trend with the newer washer with internal heaters. They never tell you what the temp will be/is. I like the system on my Danby that allows me to set any temp up to 200 degrees. | ||

Whirlpool probably can't afford NOT to make appliances in China. The "China Price" can't be matched anywhere else in the world and unfortunately, this price-point in the market is going to China. I cleaned a vacant apartment for a friend's daughter this week, two years old and all GE appliances. I was horrified at the quality of everything in the building and apartment, but the appliances were certainly disheartening to say the least. Refrigerator, range, micro/hood, dishwasher and full-size laundry. The cabinets, doors, fixtures, flooring and finish work in the apartment were just hideous. I'll bet more than half of it all was made outside the U.S. Absolute garbage. | ||

Hi to all. I'm not sure but I think it is made in Italy. It seems so similar to the italian models yust the central dial is more or less the same as Cabrio or Duet. www.whirlpool.it/app.cnt/whr/it_I... www.whirlpool.it/app.cnt/whr/it_I... Bye, Ingemar | ||

Amercian Front Loaders With Internal Heaters
If they don't say, have a sneaking hunch that is because they may or may not reach the desired temperature before the timer moves onto the rest of the wash cycle. IIRC, not to many American front loaders have "dishwasher" type timers where the heating portion of the cycle is held until the correct temperature is reached. Rather things go by pre-set times, if your water temp is too cold coming intot the machine, and it does not reach the proper temp, tough chedder. Still, to be fair, these units have puny heaters for their size. My small Miele has two 1500 watt heaters, whereas the large Whirlpools are around 1200 watts, IIRC. L. | ||
